Why we hate them?

All praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon his messenger.
I have written these words in an answer to a question that was sent by a Christian to the pulpit of tawhed and jihad (to the English section). There is a lot I wanted to mention about this subject but there is no benefit in writing a long response to those people.
But its more fitting to write something in the middle and summed up, so I was contend with what would suit the situation and to mention a part of the answer to the question that was asked “why we hate them”, and if the questioner wasn’t stubborn in his conditions and would open for us the opportunity to attach to the answer to the crimes that is committed by the hands of the jews and the Crusaders in our time in different Muslim countries the answer would have been double what it is.
I ask Allah to guide the questioner and his likes to the straight path.
And to assist us in what we say and write and to accept it from us, and He is the All hearing.

The questioner says:
What makes you think that the attacks on 9/11 has justifications? Doesn’t the Quran teach you to protect the peace and to love people? Where is the borderline between interpretating the quran with sincerity and going too far? And where do you put the line between the system of the Islamic law and the system of concepts? I think that the quran is being used as a justification for extreme beliefs more than it being a system of Islamic law. Don’t you agree with me that the Muslim extremists are brainwashing the minds of their brothers in creed with their propaganda campaigns? I don’t understand why this religion is holding this amount of hatred? And I can’t understand how any prophet of any religion would incite the killing of anyone regardless of their race, religion or creed? And your going to answer that the Zionists killed this and that, and that the Jews did this and that, but the truth is that we live in a world different then that. We live in the world of 2010. You can’t put the blame on the innocent civilians for things they have no control over. Those leaders don’t necessarily speak on the behalf of the great majority of people. So please explain to us your point of view, as each time I speak to the Muslims about the extremists they set it out as something that doesn’t have anything to do with you, and I want to understand the justifications to all this hatred, and thank you.
The answer:
All praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His messenger.
The questioner wants to know the justifications behind this hatred that he mentioned.
And he holds the Muslims the responsibility for the hatred and the killing of civilians and at the same time, he doesn’t want us to talk about actions and the crimes and hatred of the Jews and the Zionists that drive the contempt of all human races except the Jews!
The command, restriction and stipulations (in the answer he wants) is odd and illogical.
But regardless of that we are going to accept that and adhere to his stipulations, and we won’t mention what the jews, Zionists and Crusaders are doing from killings, crimes and destruction in our time.
And we will firstly remind the questioner about some of his roots that he is ignorant of in some matters regarding hatred and killings and the likes that he emerged to us in the garments of preachers! And we will seal it with the reason to our hatred for the Jews and Christians and their religion.
We will begin by what was mentioned in their holy book (the Old Testament) in the Deuteronomy (18/10/20) and there’s a summary of their laws regarding war, and it was in the following order:
Number 1: During wars according to their laws it begins with dawah (calling) to reconciliation, and if they respond to it everyone is to be enslaved.
Number 2: If they don’t reconcile and you overpower them, you kill all the men and enslave the women and children and animals that is in distant cities.
Number 3: but for the Canaanites and the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Hittites etc, (and they mentioned others that they described as public cities that the lord will give you a part of) you don’t preserve it but you forbid it completely (16-18/20) and the meaning of you forbid it is to destroy it completely.
If the questioner is unaware that this is mentioned in the holiest books of his religion, then it is not appropriate for him to come and give us lessons and lectures about hatred, but he should go back to his holy book and he should contemplate on that before throwing rocks at people.
And he should also look in the book of Joshua (28-40/10) where it’s mentioned: (then Joshua hit the ground of the mountain and the south and the flat ground and the versants and all their kings and he didn’t say roaming but he forbade every breath as he was ordered from the lord of Israel.
Ponder on: as he was ordered by the lord of Israel.
And in the issue: (1-20/31) it is mentioned in it that after the victory of the children of Israel over Median, they killed all the males and enslaved the females of median and their children and burnt all their houses and cities. And they claimed that they were ordered by Moses (17/31) and to kill all the male children from the slaves and all the women that had known a man by intercourse.
So where is the saying of the questioner: (And I can’t understand how any prophet of any religion would incite the killing of anyone regardless of their race, religion or creed) where is his saying from all the quotes mentioned here from their holiest books? Is it possible that he is ignorant or pretend to be ignorant that this is mentioned in their holiest books? Or is he turning the blind eye to it and comes to lecture us in our religion? Let him lecture himself and his people as they are more deserving!
It is also mentioned in the book of Joshua: (21-25/6) that after the fall of Jericho into the hands of the children of Israel they killed everyone in the city, from men to women to children and elderly. And even the cows and the sheep’s and donkeys got killed by the sword, except for Rahab the fornicator and her tribe- as we will mention- and they burned the city and everything in it with fire.
It was mentioned in the book of judges: (10/21) they said: Go forth and kill the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilad by the sword and also kill the women and children.
In the first book of Samuel: (2/15) they claimed that the lord ordered Samuel to kill the people of the giants (that’s how they mentioned the incident), kill every man and woman, a child or an infant and cows and sheep’s and camels and donkeys.
In the book of Ezekiel under the title of (killing the idol worshippers) (4-8/9): the lord ordered that a sign be made on every person that denies the abominations that was done in Jerusalem, and then he ordered the killing of the rest of the people this way: (kill, and do not let your eyes pity and don’t pardon the elderly or the young or the virgin or the child and the women, kill until destruction.)
We repeat, is the questioner ignorant of all this? Or is he pretending to be ignorant of it to come here and give us lectures about hatred? We will remind him of what was mentioned in the book of Isaiah (15-17/1): that the lord says to them: (your hands are filled with blood, wash and purify and remove your evil actions from my sight, and stop committing evil actions.) no doubt that they filled with blood but then they come to us in the cloaks of preacher!
Haven’t you heard about the laws of foreigners in your holy books (the jawim: which is a word in Hebrew that the Jews use on non Jews and it means: infidels or impurities and pagans) so o questioner it is not appropriate for you to come and lecture people about hatred and talk about it while you are ignorant about these matters, and here is some for you:
In the book of Isaiah (5-6/71): (the foreigners should take care of your sheep and the strangers should be your plowmen, but as for you, you are called the priests of the lord and his servants, you eat the wealth of the nations and you plot for their glory.) yes you eat the wealth of the nations and you take sway of their glory.
And therefore in the book of Deuteronomy (20/23): (To the foreigners you can lend with usury but to your brother you don’t lend with usury).
And in the book of Leviticus (42/25): the Jew is not sold like the slave, and in (44/25): as for your male and female slaves…you can take your slaves from the nations around you.
Perjury is something dispraised on someone close (or related), and stealing a free person and to enslave him as well, but its legal on the foreigner in these matters and others as well.
So where are u o questioner from this grudge and hatred in your holiest books? Why did you turn your blind eye on that but you came to lecture us about hatred?
This section is long in their books if we wanted to follow it up, and I advise the questioner if he wants more details about this matter to go back to our book “If your house is made of glass do not throw rocks at people” and it’s a book and contemplation about the books of the old testament and a comparison of its distorted stories and between the stories and narrations of the holy Quran.
In the book we mention some of our reasons to our hatred towards the Jews and the Christians and their void religion, whether its because they curse Allah swt in their holiest books by claiming that he has a son and by describing him with the attributes of deficiency and being hideous and inferior and everything that the noble people is far from, and likewise slandering his prophets and describing them with vice attributes and accusing them of obscene and vulgar actions in their holiest books of the Jews and the Christians.
So this hatred that the questioner is asking about is a hatred that is legitimate and religious that we seek closeness to Allah with, as its neither from the religion nor from the justice and not even from the good manners or honor that you love those who curse the most beloved things to your heart and to curse the holiest things to you and to mock what you are most proud of.
Do you love the enemies of the most loved (the prophet) and you claim * to love him, that is not possible
Therefore what the questioner says: (Doesn’t the Quran teach you to protect the peace and to love people?)
That needs a clarification and the summary is that the quran truly order us to protect the peace, but it ordered us to protect the peace that guarantee the rights of the weak, and the peace that guarantee the protection of the honor of the religion, a peace where there’s no disgrace or occupation of Muslim lands, a peace that respects our religion and our shareah and our prophet peace and blessings be upon him, a peace where there’s no giving in to lowliness and humility and to lie down under the desires of the enemies.
As for loving all the people even those who defame our religion and curse our prophet and occupy our lands and fight our ummah, there’s no such love in the Quran, and it seems you have misunderstood the understanding of the Quran, or the ones who tried to teach you that have failed.
Anyway, you can say while you are at ease in your mind and certain that you didn’t in fail in understanding the Quran if you said: that the quran ordered us to love what’s good and guidance for the entire people and therefore he sent our prophet a mercy to all mankind, as that expression is closer and it’s correct.
Haven’t you heard o questioner about the aggressive attack that the haters are waging in your country against the quran and our Islamic laws and our noble prophet peace and blessings be upon him, through books that are being copied, articles that are being spread and movies and cartoons that are being filmed, by fools and lunatics that are angry and malicious, they are enraged by the honor of this religion and how its being spread in your lands, and what’s strange is that this aggressive attack is happening in your countries that claim to have freedom of beliefs, and the right of the person to choose his religion and that he is protected to perform his rituals? And they hold conferences of dialogue between the civilized and its brothers and to make them closer and other kind of nonsense that you disguise the ignorant and naïve with, and that you use to deceive the shallow and poor.
But the truth that everyone who lives in your country sees, that this claimed freedom and the pretended respect, and the guaranteed rights of the religions is given to all the religions even the heathens like the Buddhism and Hinduism and others that you don’t find in it what you envy them for, but for the religion of Islam that you burned you teeth with outrage and that your envious of, you don’t give the religion or its laws and quran and its people the respect the you claim or the rights that you pretend. But it only gets furious and malicious and oppressive wars, and that’s because you were struck by its legions that destroyed your strongholds and by its flags waving in your lands and by your youth, as the blessed fair beards beautify the red faces with blue eyes, and many of your girls adorned themselves with the hijab with pride and even with the niqab (the face veil) that have invaded your streets and your schools in the time of the weakness of Islam economically and with no state and no power and despite what they went through from weakness and that they are scattered, it disproves your claims and your allegations that Islam was only spread by the sword.
Europe with its wide freedom and its false civilization and its low culture doesn’t have room for and tolerate or accept a piece of cloth that the Muslim females put on their heads as an Islamic ritual and as an Islamic obligation that is a must in our religion, and nevertheless they forbade the Muslim females that adhere to that obligation from the schools and they were expelled from their institutions and universities because of it. And as if this piece of cloth has become one of the biggest dangers, that threats the security of Europe according to the brains of your fools. And I don’t doubt that it really shows a threat to the vile and those with no honor and the cuckold the brothers of pigs. Because it’s a sign of morality, and their low manners and their degraded freedom can’t stand some morality and therefore they fight this piece of cloth in your countries as if it’s a terrorist nuclear weapon that threats your security. This happens in a time where even the best among you don’t take notice of the nudeness that is widespread in your streets and the fornication and abortion and sexual deviation in all its ways that is protected by your laws.
In Switzerland the land of freedom and no prejudice and no enmity as they claimed, the intelligent among them find it hard to breathe from the minarets, only the minarets of the mosques out of all minarets and buildings there!
Shouldn’t the Muslim there ask why all this clear and obvious hatred and enmity towards our religion out of all religions?
Isn’t it the right of every Muslim to ask why is it permissible for any female to walk naked in your streets without anyone opposing her, but restrictions is put on her when she wants to follow the commands of her religion and cover with her headscarf but then she’s expelled from every school and forbidden from any institutions and is punished for her virtuousness and purity? And your people have no patience with her and her headscarf, just like the people of Lot had no patience with his virtuousness and purity him and his family so they said: “Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure” [al a'raf 82]
We will not go to the Zionists and what they commit of crimes and racial discrimination and racial cleansing as that’s a matter that disturbs you and that you have no interest in and you put it as a condition to not open the subject without telling us the reasons! Except one reason that you did not explain but that we are in 2010! As if the Jews and the Zionists in this era are different than their ancestors, and for the our luck we write this and the whole world speaks about the crimes of the Jews against defenseless civilians on the top of a relief boat from turkey that was heading Gaza that’s under siege.
But lets forget about that and their many countless crimes as you don’t wish to speak about that, so lets head towards Egypt and what your Christian Coptic’s are doing there against their own young fellowmen of young men and women when they announce their reversion to Islam by their own will and choice! Some of them gets imprisoned inside the cellars of the church and is tortured until death, some of them get threatened and some gets killed!
Have you never questioned you and your likes that speak about hatred, why Europe haven’t given their likes asylum that they give to every failure whether male or female that flees from the Muslim countries, that cant obtain the European citizenship and the European honor and the euros and dollars except by defaming the laws of Islam?
Aren’t these double measures in your countries in how they treat Islam and Muslims enough alone to cause hatred and abhorrence, without having to mention what you forbade us from mentioning the crimes of the Jews and the Zionists that you seem to sensitive and annoyed about mentioning their crimes.
O questioner and visitor to our site:
We welcome you to our site even if you aren’t from our religion so that you can get to know some of the aspects of the greatest religion known to mankind.
And for you to get to know the crimes of you fellowmen and their hatred towards the truth, and purity and modesty and morality, and for to get to know the truth of your distorted religion.
But we have one request from you if you seek the truth, and that is before you wander in it, that you have some equity. And that you take off your glasses that overcast darkness that are loaded with deformation and hatred that you were coated with by the media that fights our religion in your countries then maybe you can view the reality as it is, and delight your heart to the truth.
And peace be on those who follow the truth.
